Hilary's Bachelorette Party Invitations

My cousin came over tonight for dinner and "invitation assembly night"...we got it all done in one sitting and they look pretty cute. So "L" bought all the supplies and I think she spent around $30 on ribbon, cardstock (2 colors), pearls (that we didn't use), pink puff paint, pink construction paper and a nice black felt tip pen. We made 20 invites in about 2 1/2 hours...mind you they were all handwritten.

To start, I drew a very simple corset and we cut that out from thick paper to use as a template. The white background you see is the heavy cardstock cut at 5" x 7"....we were able to just cut a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 in half then trim off the excess. Our envelopes, which I already had, were standard hallmark-y ones that are about 5x7 so that's why we went with that size. Start with what you do have and go from there!

The bows are pretty self explanatory (used hot glue) and on the back we cut out 'pink panties' which I didn't take a pic of...but that's where we wrote details about the shower and her sizes on the panties...we used a regular old glue stick to attach the corset and the panties. (dollar tree!)

I think "L" is going to put 3 little dots of the pink paint under the little poem just to help define that space.

They turned out adorable and we super easy to put together. Hope this helps if you're thinking of affordable/easy invitation projects.
